Cimetière créole

Description

Le Bonbon Vodou is a confectionery that, from the very first contact with the auditory taste buds, makes you feel the pulses of its pure yet impactful rhythm. With a tin can and a plastic bag for the charley, Oriane crafted her unique drum; with his oil can guitar, JereM finely adorned it with melodies. Stories told in two voices, that combine, sparkle, and explode. Poems, sarcasm, emotions. A joyful nostalgia, a festive sadness, reminiscent of the marine cemetery in the bay of Saint-Paul, on the island of La Réunion. Recorded between France and the volcanic island, buffeted by the winds of the Indian Ocean, the album, in both words and notes, transforms French song into Creole succulence. On site, surrounded by musical figures from the island, the duo indulged in the flavorful subtleties of sega and mayola. The accordion notes of René Lacaille, Oriane's father, the voice of Danyèl Waro. But also percussion – the kayamb, of course! – and, in the local tradition, the breath of brass bands.
